While the iPhone 17 Defender Series Pro Case doesn’t include built-in screen protection, we offer premium screen protectors that are fully compatible and work seamlessly with OtterBox cases.
Product itself is fine. Purchase process was not. Feel like I was tricked into buying two cases.

Instructions were not precise: I was in tears. Not each and every action is understood by those without smartphone experience. Holster was stupid: I need a velcro closed canvas pocket with belt loop not clips. I want a secure anchor point on the case through which i can run a tether

The iPhone 17 Defender Series Pro Case is not compatible with the iPHone 17 Pro Max. You can find all case compatibilities/features located at the bottom of the product pages within the OtterBox website.
Case is still good, Just was shocked couldn’t order black case instead ordered blue and not happy with that option but I wanted a real case not some knock off.
I would recommend this to a friend!
